As has been demonstrated repeatedly on this list and elsewhere, there are
people who place not-insignificant value on addresses.  The pragmatic among
us would probably argue that even after 2008/2050 or any other
pronouncement by any involved party, address space has value and in fact
has had and will have value as long as it provides an opportunity for a
service that has value.  Arguments to the contrary are approximately
equivalent to arguing the tide should not come in 'cause it messes up our
nice sand castles.
